Abstract

MORA VERA, Germán Andrés. The Dispute for Land in Colombia over the Resguardos: Concepts, Analytical Angles and Standpoints. Pap.polit. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.1, pp.57-79. ISSN 0122-4409.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.papo21-1.dlcr.

For over 400 years there has been a conflict between the governments and the indigenous peoples in Colombia over the lands of resguardos that still goes on today. Through a comparative study carried out within what is denominated as the Upper and Lower angles, this article attempts to show the differences and similarities between the interests and beliefs of these two parties over these lands. The academic discussions involved in this study reveal also that there is not only a lack of consensus between the authors that study this topic, but also demonstrate that there is a gap between the principles enacted in the rule of law and the reality, which keeps prolonging this conflict.

Keywords : Colombia; government; land dispute; resguardos.
